Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to wireless local area networks (WLANs). More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and system for providing priority access to a WLAN to perform fast channel switching.
- WLANs wireless local area networks
- the 802.11 standard provides for two coordination functions, the distributed coordination function (DCF), and the point coordination function (PCF). If contention-free service is required, it can be provided by the point coordination function (PCF), which is built on top of the DCF.
- the PCF is an optional part of the 802.11 specification and has not been widely implemented to date. Frame exchanges between network stations STAs under the DCF dominate currently deployed WLANs.
- the DCF is based on a listen-before-talk scheme referred to as CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance) as described by the IEEE 802.11 standard.
- each station checks whether the medium is idle. If the medium is not idle, the stations defer to each other and employ an exponential back-off algorithm to avoid transmission collisions.
- DFS dynamic frequency selection
- the present invention is directed to a method and system for providing fast channel priority access, to send time critical frames, such as Spectrum Management Action Frames, in the MAC layer protocol of a communications system such as, for example, an 802.11 based wireless communication system.
- a key point of novelty of the invention is that priority access to the wireless medium is obtained to enable the prioritized transmission of one or more spectrum management frames from a source node (e.g., an AP or STA) to perform fast channel switching.
- Fast channel switching as defined herein includes the announcement of a channel switch or the halting of all transmissions in a current channel of operation.
- the present invention encompasses, in one of its aspects, a method for providing fast channel access to a wireless medium.
- the method generally includes the steps of: determining that the wireless medium has been idle during a PCF interframe space (PIFS) period, transmitting a first management frame during a slot time following said one PIFS period; wherein the transmission at said slot time substantially guarantees priority access to said wireless medium; and performing fast channel switching in the network in accordance with directives contained within the management frame.
- the method may further include the additional step of transmitting one or more additional management frames, whose format is identical to said first management frame, each additional frame separated by the PIFS interframe space to provide a higher degree of transmission reliability.
- the method is preferably performed at an access point (AP) in an infrastructure network or in an STA in an ad-hoc network.
- AP access point
- the present invention encompasses, in another of its aspects, a system for providing fast channel priority access to enable the prioritized transmission of Spectrum Management Action Frames, in a MAC protocol of a communications system such as, for example, with respect to an 802.11 based wireless communication system.
- the system includes a means for determining that the wireless local area network (WLAN) is idle for one PCF interframe space (PIFS) period; and a means for transmitting a first management frame at the slot boundary of the PIFS period, wherein the transmission of said first management frame at said PIFS slot boundary accords said node priority access to said WLAN; a means for performing fast channel switching in the network in accordance with directives contained in a first management frame; and a means for transmitting one or more additional management frames subsequent to the transmission of said first management frame for providing a higher degree of transmission reliability, wherein each additional management frame is separated by the PIFS time period.
- WLAN wireless local area network
- PIFS PCF interframe space
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of an illustrative communications network that includes an illustrative wireless local area network in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 illustrates a simplified block diagram of an access point (AP) and each station (STA) within a cell according to the embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 3 is a time-line illustrating the relationship between the three interframe spacings for determining priority access to a wireless medium
- FIG. 4. illustrates the transmission of three management frames in accordance with the method of the invention
- the present invention is described below in the context of gaining priority access to an 802.11 based wireless medium controlled at the MAC layer which provides core framing operations.
- teachings of the invention discussed herein are not so limited. That is, the invention is applicable to other communications systems where network stations (e.g., mobile or fixed) make attempts to secure access to a medium associated with a base station or other communications system access point to perform fast channel switching as defined herein.
- the present invention provides a system and associated method that allows a source node, which may be an access point (AP) in an infrastructure network or a station (STA) in an ad-hoc network to gain priority access to an 802.11 based wireless medium to transmit one or more prioritized spectrum management frames to perform fast channel switching (i.e., quickly announce a channel switch and/or halt all transmissions in the current channel).
- a source node which may be an access point (AP) in an infrastructure network or a station (STA) in an ad-hoc network to gain priority access to an 802.11 based wireless medium to transmit one or more prioritized spectrum management frames to perform fast channel switching (i.e., quickly announce a channel switch and/or halt all transmissions in the current channel).
- Priority access to the wireless medium enables the transmission of management frames at a point in time prior to the start of contention with other nodes so as to avoid well-known network latencies associated with the distributed access contention protocol such as access deferral and exponential back-off.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a wireless LAN (WLAN) 20 system for implementing the method of the invention.
- Wireless LAN 20 defines an infrastructure network which includes a plurality of cells 22.
- Cell 22 includes an access point (AP) 24 (which is sometimes referred to as a wireless local bridge or a base station).
- AP access point
- cell 22 may include remote network stations (STAs) 26.
- STAs remote network stations
- Access point 24 and remote STAs 26 may be the transmitters and receivers of the system.
- Each STA 26 may be a mobile, portable, or stationary terminal.
- Each STA 26 may be a desktop workstation, laptop computer, palm top computer, handheld personal computer, pen-based computer, personal digital assistant, handheld scanner, data collector, handheld printer, etc.
- AP 24 may be an interface for communicating between wireless network 20 and a wireline network.
- AP 24 may be configured to provide a communications gateway between STAs 26 and AP 24 that are in cell 22 and also between a wireline network and the STAs 26.
- AP 24 is typically configured to convert signals between wireline and wireless communications mediums. The conversion may allow the access point to pass communication information between the wireline network and wireless STAs 26.
- the wireline network may be coupled to an external network (e.g., PBX, PSTN, Internet, etc.).
- both the AP 24 and STAs 26 may include a display 30, a CPU 32, a transmitter/receiver 34, an input device 36, a storage module 38, a random access memory (RAM) 40, a read-only memory (42), and a common bus 41.
- RAM random access memory
- a read-only memory 42
- common bus 41 a common bus 41.
- the transmitter/receiver 34 is coupled to an antenna (not shown) to transmit desired data and its receiver converts received signals into corresponding digital data.
- the CPU 32 operates under the control of an operating system contained in the ROM 42 and utilizes RAM 40 to perform the frequency selection within a wireless local area network (WLAN), by enabling the AP in an infrastructure network or an STA in an ad-hoc network, to provide a new channel or wireless link for the rest of stations (STAs).
- WLAN wireless local area network
- a plurality of STAs 26 may be associated with AP 24 if present. Each STA 26 may have different communications capabilities and requirements.
- AP 24 may manage the communications traffic between STAs 26 and the wireline network. AP 24 may manage the communications traffic by controlling when frames are transmitted to each remote STA 26 in cell 22.
- the communications traffic in cell 22 may include data frames (e.g., signals that carry frames to provide data communications), voice frames (e.g., signals that carry frames to provide voice communications), real-time frames (e.g., signals that carry frames to provide real-time communications such as multimedia or voice communications), management frames (e.g., signals that carry frames to provide network management communications), etc.
- data frames e.g., signals that carry frames to provide data communications
- voice frames e.g., signals that carry frames to provide voice communications
- real-time frames e.g., signals that carry frames to provide real-time communications such as multimedia or voice communications
- management frames e.g., signals that carry frames to provide network management communications
- the 802.11 standard provides two coordination functions for gaining access to the wireless medium to exchange communication traffic.
- the functions are controlled at the MAC layer.
- the two functions are the distributed coordination function
- DCF point coordination function
- PCF point coordination function
- the DCF is an optional feature of the 802.11 standard and has not been widely deployed to date.
- the DCF is a mandatory feature of the 802.11 standard and provides a standard Ethernet-like contention based service that is based on a listen-before-talk scheme called CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance) as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
- CSMA/CA carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance
- Both the PCF and DCF utilize interframe spacings for coordinating access to the medium.
- the 802.11 standard defines four different interframe spacings. Three are used to determine medium access.
- a time-line 50 illustrating the relationship between the three interframe spacings (i.e., SIFS, PIFS, DIFS) used to determine medium access.
- the three interframe spacings create different priority levels for different types of frames over the medium.
- the different priority levels establish that high-priority frames don't have to wait as long as low-priority frames after the medium has become idle. Therefore, if there is any pending high-priority frame, such as an acknowledgement frame, it gains access to the network before low-priority frames have an opportunity to do so.
- the wireless medium is initially shown as busy 52.
- this busy interval 52 it is assumed that one of the network stations 24 or 26 has gained control of the wireless medium and is transmitting a frame.
- all of the other stations 24, 26 that do not presently have control of the wireless medium must remain silent and defer any intended signal communication.
- the medium becomes idle.
- the interval following the busy interval 52 is defined as an idle interval 55 inside of which three interframe spacings are shown.
- Each of the three interframe spacings provides a unique priority level for STA 24 or 26 to access the idle medium. They are, the short interframe space (SIFS) interval 54, which is used for the highest-priority transmissions.
- SIFS short interframe space
- PCF interframe spacing interval (PIFS) 56 which is used by STAs 24 and the AP 26 operating under the PCF service. Similar to that described above with reference to the SIFS interframe spacing interval 54, STAs 24 and AP 26 are permitted immediate access to the medium if the medium is determined to be idle at the PIFS slot boundary (see point "C").
- the PIFS interframe spacing interval 56 is presently only used in the PCF service mode for providing contention free service. As stated above, the PCF service is seldom incorporated into 802.11 based LAN deployments, and as such will not be discussed further.
- the DIFS interframe spacing interval 58 is used by STAs 24 and AP 26 operating in the contention-based DCF service mode.
- STAs 24 and AP 26 are permitted immediate access to the medium if the medium is determined to be idle at the DIFS slot boundary (see point "D").
- a fourth interframe spacing interval referred to as the extended interframe space (EIFS) is not shown in FIG. 3 because it is not a fixed interval, but is only used when there is an error in frame transmission, and will not be discussed further.
- the DCF contention-based service operates by first sensing the wireless medium to determine whether it has been idle for the DIFS interframe spacing interval 36 before transmitting. After the DIFS interframe spacing interval 58 has elapsed, an exponential back-off operation follows. To perform back-off, an STA 24 generates a random number between zero and a contention window 60. This random number is the number of slots 62 that the STA must wait before transmitting. During periods in which the channel is clear, the transmitting node decrements its backoff counter. When the backoff counter reaches zero, the node transmits the packet. As is apparent the DCF service is subject to latencies such as drawback and access deferral.
- an STA To perform fast channel switching in accordance with the principles of the invention, the afore-mentioned latencies associated with the conventional DCF service, described above, cannot be tolerated.
- the present invention overcomes these latency concerns by employing a technique for gaining priority access to the medium to perform operations associated with fast channel switching in a contention free manner, as will be described.
- an STA In accordance with one embodiment for obtaining fast channel access, an STA
- the management frame includes directives for performing fast channel switching which may include (1) quickly halting transmissions in a current channel within a prescribed time and (2) quickly switching channels within a prescribed time when a primary user is detected.
- the priority access scheme of the present invention does not replace the conventional contention-based service, but rather serves as a supplementary feature for gaining priority access by the AP 26 or STA 24 in those situations where it is required to transmit a management frame quickly. It is further noted that, in contrast with the conventional contention-based service, which includes the "back-off procedure, as described above, there is no backoff procedure associated with the channel priority access scheme of the present invention. By not including an associated back-off procedure in the method of the invention, contention with other STAs is avoided and priority access is thereby substantially assured.
- FIG. 4 there is shown three management frames being transmitted in accordance with the method of the invention.
- a single management frame 61 is transmitted at the PIFS slot boundary (point "C" to Fig. 3).
- the present invention contemplates the transmission of additional management frames 63, 65 preferably separated by the PIFS time period to provide a higher degree of transmission reliability.
- Three are shown in FIG. 4, however, more or less management frames may be used. Accordingly, modifications such as those suggested above, but not limited thereto, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
